Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-ing position, then ask all occupants to adjust their seat belts to ensure optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving position– sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket). This is essential to ensure your back is positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat should be as far back as possible while still allowing you to depress the clutch pedal fully. The seatback should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the steering wheel;

– adjust the position of your head-rest. For the maximum safety, your head must be as close as possible to the headrest;

– adjust the height of the seat. This adjustment allows you to select the seat position which offers you the best possible view;

– adjust the position of the steering wheel.

Adjusting the seat beltsSit with your back firmly against the seatback.Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as possible to the base of the neck but not on it.Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.The belt should be worn so that it is as close as possible to your body, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is locked in position correctly so that the rear seat belts will operate effi-ciently. Refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat: functions” in Section 3.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around

them.– The belt should never be twisted.– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.– When putting back the rear bench seat, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-

cured.– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-

jects).

– Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.

– No operation whatso-ever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved Dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.

– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially trained technician using special equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved Dealer for disposal of the pretensioner and air bag gas generators.

Depending on the vehicle, they will con-sist of:– front seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioners;– chest-level load limiters;– air bags for driver and front pas-

senger.These systems are designed to act in-dependently or together when the vehi-cle is subjected to a frontal impact.Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:– seat belt locking;– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt slack);

– airbags.

PretensionersThe pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus in-creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.With the ignition on, following a signif-icant frontal impact and depending on the severity of the impact, the system may trigger the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts the seat belt.


1.23


Load limiterAbove a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.

Airbags for driver and front passengerFitted to the driver and passenger side.The presence of this equipment is in-dicated by the word “Air bag” on the steering wheel and dashboard (air bag zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, a symbol on the lower section of the windscreen.Each air bag system consists of:– an air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-ing which controls the gas generator electrical trigger system;

– a single å warning light on the instrument panel.


A

The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start) and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, su-perficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

1.24




Operating faults

Warning light 4 å will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on and then go out after a few seconds.If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system.Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be re-duced until this fault is rectified.

4

OperationThis system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front pas-senger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hin-dered from leaving the vehicle.

1.25



Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting

your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger air bag– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In

general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.A REAR-fACING CHILD sEAT MUsT NOT BE fITTED TO THE fRONT PAssENGER sEAT UNLEss

sIDE PROTECTION DEVICEs

Warning relating to the side airbag – fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de-

signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.

– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never insert any objects in these slits.Depending on the vehicle, a mark-

ing on the windscreen informs you of the presence of additional means of restraint (air bags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passenger compartment.

ADDITIONAL METHODs Of REsTRAINT

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the oc-cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-perficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.

If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer,

wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified Network personnel.– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,

only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or

broken into.– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.

Child safety: general information

CHILD sAfETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying childrenChildren, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehi-cle are your responsibility.A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet fin-ished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.

A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as fall-ing a distance of 10 metres. Transporting a child without

a restraint is the equivalent of allow-ing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

To prevent the doors being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Opening

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicleNever leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-cient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the tempera-ture inside the passenger compart-ment increases very quickly.RIsK Of DEATH OR sERIOUs INJURY.

CHILD sAfETY: General information (2/2)

Using a child seatThe level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to re-strain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-proved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

Set a good example by always fas-tening your seat belt and teaching your child:– to strap themselves in correctly;– to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf-fic.

Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unat-tended in the vehicle.Check that your child is always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, espe-cially if asleep.

CHILD sAfETY: choosing a child seat

Rear-facing child seatsA baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this po-sition for as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell.

forward-facing child seatsThe child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-ing child seat which is firmly attached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits.Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.w

Booster cushionsFrom 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his/her size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seat-back fitted with a belt strap guide which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.

Choosing a child seat mounting

CHILD sAfETY: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2)There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.

Attachment via the seat beltThe seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are re-spected.Always check that the seat belt is cor-rectly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.

Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on

the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.

The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the

arm or behind the back.Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.If the seat belt does not operate nor-mally, it will not protect the child. Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired. No modifications may be

made to the component parts of the restraint system (seat belts, ISOFIX and

seats and their mountings) originally fitted.

Attachment using the IsOfIX systemAuthorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-proved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following cases:– ISOFIXuniversal 3-point forward-fac-

ing seat;– ISOFIXsemi-universal 2-point seat;– specific.For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.

Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you pur-chased for another vehicle, check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of ve-hicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufac-turer.

Fitting a child seat

CHILD sAfETY: fitting a child seat (1/6)Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the follow-ing page shows you how to attach a child seat.The types of child seat indicated may not be available. Before using a differ-ent child seat, check with the manufac-turer that it can be fitted.

Ensure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from locking correctly. Refer to

the information on the “Front seat” in Section 1.Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

In the front seatThe laws concerning children travel-ling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):– lower the seat belt as far as possible;– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

In the rear side seatA carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without al-lowing it to come into contact with the child seat.For the safety of the child in the for-ward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as much as possible.Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehi-cle seat and that the headrest of the ve-hicle is not obstructing its use.

Rear centre seatCheck that the belt is suitable for se-curing your child seat. Consult an ap-proved dealer.

RIsK Of DEATH OR sERIOUs INJURY: Before installing a child seat on the front passenger seat, check

that the airbag has been deacti-vated (please refer to “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation and activation” in Section 1).

which are not approved.Or operating faults such as:– faulty ignition system, running out of

fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-ting out when driving;

– loss of power,as they may cause the catalytic con-verter to overheat and thus reduce its efficiency, or damage it irreparably and cause heat damage to the vehi-cle.

If you notice any of the above operating faults, have the necessary repairs car-ried out as soon as possible by an ap-proved Dealer.These faults may be avoided by regu-larly taking your vehicle to an approved Dealer at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Service Booklet.

Starting problemsTo avoid damaging the catalytic con-verter, do not keep trying to start the engine (using the start button, or by pushing or towing the vehicle) without having identified and corrected the starting fault.If the fault cannot be identified, do not keep trying to start the engine, but con-tact an approved Dealer.

Do not park the vehicle or run the engine in locations where combustible sub-stances or materials such

as grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system.

Recommendations: anti-pollution and fuel economy

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015.Some parts of your vehicle have there-fore been designed to facilitate future recycling.These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reproc-essed by recycling companies.By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle also conforms to current anti-pollution regulations. The manufac-turer is actively striving to reduce pol-lutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your responsibility. Ensure that it is main-tained and used correctly.

Aiding fuel economyDepending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, an indicator light on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift or down-shift gears:

Š move up a gear;

‰ move down a gear.

MaintenanceIt is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu-facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.

Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-cordance with the instructions given in your maintenance schedule: they will have all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.

Engine adjustments– ignition: this does not require ad-

justment.– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-

omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.

– idle: this does not require adjust-ment.

– air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele-ment reduces performance. It must be replaced.


2.15


– Brake as little as possible. If you an-ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-vance, you may then simply release the accelerator pedal.

– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.

– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary in modern vehicles.

– Bad weather, flooded roads:Do not drive through floods if the water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)

Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles

until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-tionary.

– Speed is expensive.– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive

with a light right foot.– Do not overrev the engine in the in-

termediate gears. Always use the highest gear possi-

ble without labouring the engine.– Avoid sudden acceleration.

Exhaust gas monitoring systemThe exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehi-cle’s antipollution system.If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-stances may be released into the at-mosphere or damage may occur.

Ä This warning light on the in-strument panel will indicate if

there are any faults in the system:This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.– If it lights up continuously, consult an

approved Dealer as soon as possi-ble;

– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.

obstructions to the driverOn the driver’s side, only use mats adapted to the ve-hicle that attach to the pre-

installed parts, and regularly check their mounting. Do not place several mats on top of each other.There is a risk of wedging the pedals

2.16


ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)

Advice on use– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the

electrical components which are not really needed. However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).

– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h) will increase fuel consumption by 4%.

– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-jects.

– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.

– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.

Tyres– An underinflated tyre increases fuel

consumption.– The use of non-recommended tyres

can increase fuel consumption.

– In vehicles fitted with air condi-tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (es-pecially in urban conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few mo-ments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.

– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.

– Favour ECO mode. Refer to the information on “Eco-driving”.

Environment

ENVIRoNMENTEmissionsYour vehicle has been designed to emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2) while in use, and therefore to consume less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to 5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).Our vehicles are also equipped with a particle filter system including a cata-lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter pre-vents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air).For certain diesel vehicles, this system also has a particle filter to reduce the volume of soot particles emitted.

Please make your own contribution towards protecting the environment too– Worn parts replaced in the course of

routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or filled with used oil) must be disposed of through specialist organisations.

– At the end of the vehicle’s service life, it should be sent to approved centres to ensure that it is recycled.

– In all cases, comply with local legis-lation.

RecyclingYour vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95% recoverable.To achieve these objectives, many of the vehicle components have been de-signed to enable them to be recycled. The materials and structures have been carefully designed to allow these components to be easily removed and reprocessed by specialist companies.In order to preserve raw material re-sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-merous parts made from recycled plas-tics or renewable materials (vegetable or animal-derived materials such as cotton or wool).

Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life.This commitment is illustrated by the of the manufacturer eco² signature.

ManufactureYour vehicle has been manufactured at a factory which complies with a policy to reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-sions and waste water; sorting and re-using waste).

Depending on the vehicle, this is com-posed of:– anti-lock braking system (AbS);– electronic stability control (ESC)

with understeer control and trac-tion control (ASR);

– emergency brake assist;– hill start assistance.

Driver correction devices and aids

operating faults:

– © and x lit up on the in-strument panel alongside mes-sages “Check ABS”, “Check brak-ing system” and “Check ESC”: ABS, ESC and emergency brake assist are deactivated. braking is always enabled;

– x, D, © and ® lit on the instrument panel accom-panied by the message “Braking system fault”: this indicates a fault with the braking system.

In both cases, consult an approved Dealer.

Anti-lock braking system (AbS)Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents the wheels from locking, allowing the stopping distance to be managed and keeping control of the vehicle.Under these circumstances, the vehi-cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst braking. In addition, this system can increase stopping distances, par-ticularly on roads with low surface grip (wet ground etc.).You will feel a pulsation through the brake pedal each time the system is activated. The ABS does not in any way improve the vehicle's physical per-formance relating to the road surface and road-holding. It is still essential to follow the rules of good driving practice (such as driving at a safe distance from the vehicle in front etc.).

DRIVER CoRRECTIoN DEVICES AND AIDS (1/4)

These functions are an ad-ditional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.However, the functions do not take the place of the driver. They do not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, they can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibil-ity of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).

In an emergency, apply firm and continuous pressure to the brake pedal. There is no need to pump it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-late the force applied in the braking system.

Your braking systems are partially operational. However, it is dangerous to brake suddenly and

it is essential to stop immediately, as soon as traffic conditions allow. Contact an approved dealer.


2.19


Electronic stability program (ESC) with understeer control and traction control (ASR)Electronic stability control ESCThis system helps you to keep control of the vehicle in critical driving condi-tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip on a bend, etc.).

operating principleA sensor in the steering wheel detects the direction selected by the driver.Other sensors throughout the vehicle measure the actual direction.The system compares driver input to the actual trajectory of the vehicle and corrects the trajectory if necessary by controlling the braking of certain wheels and/or engine power. In the event that the system is engaged, indicator light

flashes on the instrument panel.

DRIVER CoRRECTIoN DEVICES AND AIDS (2/4)Understeer controlThis system optimises the action of the ESC in the case of pronounced under-steer (loss of front axle road holding).

Traction control ASRThis system helps to limit wheelspin of the drive wheels and to control the ve-hicle when pulling away accelerating or decelerating.operating principleUsing the wheel sensors, the system measures and compares the speed of the drive wheels at all times and slows down their over-rotation. If a wheel is starting to slip, the system brakes au-tomatically until the drive supplied be-comes compatible with the level of grip under the wheel again.The system also adjusts the engine speed to the grip available under the wheels, independently of the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal.

operating faultsWhen the system detects an operat-ing fault the message “Check ESC” and

warning light © and appear on the instrument panel. In this case, the ESC and ASR are deactivated.Consult an approved dealer.

Disabling the ASR functionIn some situations (driving on very wet ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with snow chains fitted), the system may reduce the engine output to limit wheel-spin.

2.20



DRIVER CoRRECTIoN DEVICES AND AIDS (3/4) Emergency brake assistThis system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-tances.

operating principleThe system is for detecting an emer-gency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately de-velops maximum power and may trig-ger ABS regulation.ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.

Hazard warning lights switching onDepending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden decel-eration.

braking anticipationDepending on the vehicle, when you rapidly release the accelerator, the system anticipates the braking ma-noeuvre in order to reduce stopping distances.When using the cruise control:– if you use the accelerator, when you

release it, the system may be trig-gered;

– if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.

operating faultsWhen the system detects an operat-ing fault the message “Check brak-ing system” appears on the instrument panel along with the © warning light.Consult an approved dealer.

These functions are an ad-ditional aid in the event of critical driving conditions, enabling the vehicle behav-

iour to be adapted to suit the driving conditions.However, the functions do not take the place of the driver. They do not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, they can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibil-ity of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving).


2.21


DRIVER CoRRECTIoN DEVICES AND AIDS (4/4)

Hill start assistanceThis function assists the driver when starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards, depending on the slope, by automatically applying the brakes when the driver lifts his/her foot off the brake pedal to depress the ac-celerator pedal.

System operationIt only operates when the gear lever is in a position other than neutral (other than N or P for automatic transmis-sions) and the vehicle is completely stationary (brake pedal depressed)The system holds the vehicle for ap-proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are then gradually released (the vehicle will move according to the slope).

The hill start assistance system cannot completely prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in all sit-

uations (extremely steep gradients, etc.).In all cases, the driver may depress the brake pedal to prevent the ve-hicle from rolling forwards or back-wards.The hill start assistance function should not be used for prolonged stops: use the brake pedal.This function is not designed to im-mobilise the vehicle permanently.If necessary, use the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.The driver must remain particularly vigilant when driving on slippery or low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.Risk of serious injury.

Exceeding the limit speedIt is possible to exceed the limit speed at any time. To do this: press the accel-erator pedal firmly and fully (beyond the resistance point).While the speed is being exceeded, the programmed speed displayed on the instrument panel flashes.Then, release the accelerator: the speed limiter function will return as soon as you reach a speed lower than the stored speed.

Limited speed cannot be maintainedIf driving up or down a steep gradient, the system is unable to maintain the limit speed: the stored speed will flash on the instrument panel information dis-play to inform you of this situation.

Varying the limit speedThe limit speed may be changed by re-peatedly pressing:– switch 2 (+) to increase speed;– switch 3 (-) to reduce speed.

DrivingWhen a limited speed has been stored and this speed is not reached, driving is similar to driving a vehicle without the speed limiter function.Once you have reached the stored speed, no effort on the accelera-tor pedal will allow you to exceed the programmed speed except in an emergency (refer to information on “Exceeding the limit speed”).

Returning to the cruising speedIf a speed is stored, it can be recalled, once you are sure that the road con-ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-face, weather conditions, etc.). Press switch 4 (R) if the vehicle speed is above 20 mph (30 km/h).When the stored speed is recalled, acti-vation of the cruise control is confirmed by the illumination of the warning light.Nb: if the speed previously stored is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly to reach this threshold.

When the cruise control function is put on standby, pressing switch 2 (+) reactivates the cruise control function without taking into account the stored speed: it is the speed at which the vehicle is moving that is taken into account.

Putting the function on standbyThe function is set to standby if you:– use the switch 5 (O);– the brake pedal;– depress the clutch pedal or shift into

neutral if the vehicle has an auto-matic gearbox.

In all three cases, the cruising speed remains stored and the message “MEMORISED” appears on the instru-ment panel.Standby is confirmed when indicator light goes out.


Putting the cruise control on standby or switching it off does not cause a rapid reduction in speed: you

must brake by depressing the brake pedal.

Parking distance control

operating principleUltrasonic detectors, installed in the rear bumper (depending on the vehi-cle), measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-ing.This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-metres from the obstacle.Nb: make sure that the ultrasonic sen-sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

PARkING DISTANCE CoNTRoL (1/2)

operationWhen reverse gear is selected, most objects which are less than approxi-mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the vehicle are detected, a beep sounds and, depending on the vehicle, dis-play 1 lights up.

Nb: depending on the vehicle, screen 1 shows the vehicle surroundings along-side the beeps.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-ity whilst reversing.

The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeuvring.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)

operationWhen reversing (and up to approxi-mately five seconds after shifting to another gear), a camera 1 on the tail-gate transmits a view of the surround-ings to the rear of the vehicle to a touch-screen 2, accompanied by two clearance gauges 3 and 4 (mobile and fixed).Note: make sure that the reversing camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Dynamic gauge 3 (depending on the vehicle)This is shown in blue on screen 2. It in-dicates the vehicle trajectory according to the position of the steering wheel.

Fixed gauge 4The fixed clearance gauge comprises coloured markers A, B and C, indicat-ing the distance behind the vehicle:– A (red) approximately 30 centime-

tres from the vehicle;– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-

metres from the vehicle;– C (green) approximately 150 centi-

metres from the vehicle.This gauge remains fixed and indicates the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are in line with the vehicle.

REVERSING CAMERA (2/2)

This function is an additional aid. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances replace the vigilance or the

responsibility of the driver.The driver should always pay atten-tion to sudden incidents during driv-ing: always ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when manoeu-vring.

The screen shows a reverse image.The frames are a representation projected onto flat ground; this in-formation must not be taken into account when superimposed on a vertical object or an object on the ground.Objects which appear on the edge of the screen may be deformed.In very bright light (snow, vehicle in sunshine etc.), the camera vision may be adversely affected.If the boot is open or poorly closed, the message “BOOT OPEN” ap-pears and, depending on the vehi-cle, the camera display disappears.

.

nB:– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and is recycled, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-ing in polluted areas, etc.);

– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly as possible.

Do not open the refriger-ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage eyes or skin.

Fuel consumptionYou will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially in town) when the air conditioning is operating.For vehicles fitted with air conditioning with no automatic mode, switch off the system when it is not required.advice for reducing consumption and helping to preserve the environ-mentDrive with the air vents open and the windows closed.If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.

MaintenanceRefer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle for the inspection fre-quency.

operating faultsAs a general rule, contact your ap-proved dealer in the event of an oper-ating fault.– reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.This may be caused by the passen-ger compartment filter cartridge be-coming clogged.

– no cold air is being produced.Check that the controls are set cor-rectly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the vehicleAfter prolonged use of the air condi-tioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.

advice on useIn some situations, (air conditioning off, air recirculation activated, ventila-tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may notice that condensation starts to form on the windows and windscreen.If there is condensation, use the “Clear view” function to remove it, then use the air conditioning in automatic mode to stop it forming again.

Engine oil level: general information

– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;

– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-type dipstick C, screw the cap in as far as it will go);

– take out the dipstick again;– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark A or exceed maximum mark B.

Once the operation has been com-pleted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the “cap-type dipstick” is completely screwed in.

It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level be-tween oil changes.However, contact your approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.Oil change frequency: check the oil level from time to time and certainly before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.

Reading the oil levelThe oil level should be read with the ve-hicle on level ground, after the engine has been switched off for some time.The dipstick must be used to read the exact oil level and make sure that the maximum level has not been exceeded (risk of engine damage). Refer to the following pages.The instrument panel display only alerts the driver when the oil level is at its minimum.

Exceeding the maximum engine oil levelThe oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above.If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved Dealer.

Under no circumstances should maximum filling level B be exceeded: this could damage the engine

and the catalytic converter.

In order to prevent splashback, it is recommended that a funnel be used when topping up/filling with oil

Engine oil level: topping up, filling

Topping up/fillingThe vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should be cold (for instance, before the engine is started up for the first time in the day).

– Unscrew cap 1;– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-

pacity between the minimum and maximum reading on the dipstick 2 is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-ing on the engine);

– wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;

– check the level using the dipstick 2 (as described above).

Once the operation has been com-pleted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go and that the cap is completely screwed in.

Bodywork maintenance

BODyWORk MAINTENANCE (1/2)

you shouldWash your car frequently, with the engine off, with cleaning products rec-ommended by the manufacturer (never use abrasive products). Rinse thor-oughly beforehand with a jet:– spots of tree resin and industrial

grime;– mud in the wheel arches and under-

neath the body which forms damp patches;

– bird droppings, which cause a chemical reaction with the paint that rapidly discolours paintwork and may even cause the paint to peel off;

wash the vehicle immediately to remove these marks since it is im-possible to remove them by polish-ing;

– salt, particularly in the wheel arches and underneath the body after driv-ing in areas where the roads have been gritted.

Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves, etc.) from the vehicle regularly.

What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-cal components (e.g. the engine com-partment), underneath the body, parts with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and painted plastic external fittings (e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure clean-ing equipment or by spraying on prod-ucts not approved by our Technical Department. Doing this could give rise to corrosion or operational faults.Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or freezing temperatures.Do not scrape off mud or dirt without pre-wetting.Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.Allow rust to form following minor im-pacts.Do not use solvents not approved by our Technical Department to remove stains as this could damage the paint-work.Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-tions without washing the vehicle, par-ticularly under the wheel arches and body.

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-ularly.Your vehicle has been treated with very effective anti-corrosion products. It is nevertheless subject to various outside influences.

Corrosive agents in the atmosphere– atmospheric pollution (built-up and

industrial areas),– saline atmospheres (near the sea,

particularly in hot weather),– seasonal and damp weather condi-

tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water from road cleaners, etc.).

Minor impacts

Abrasive actionDust and sand in the air, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.You should take a number of minor pre-cautions in order to safeguard your ve-hicle against such risks.

Respect local regulations about wash-ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-hicle on a public highway).Observe the vehicle stopping distances when driving on gravelled surfaces to prevent paint damage.Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been damaged, to prevent corrosion spreading.Remember to visit the body shop pe-riodically in order to maintain your anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the Maintenance Document.If it is necessary to clean mechani-cal components, hinges, etc., spray them with products approved by our Technical Department to protect them after they have been cleaned.

BODyWORk MAINTENANCE (2/2)

We have selected special products to care for your vehicle and you can obtain these from the manufactur-er’s accessory outlets.

Using a roller type car washReturn the windscreen wiper stalk to the Park position (refer to the informa-tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” in Section 1). Check the mounting of external accessories, additional lights and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper blades are secured with adhesive tape.Remove the radio aerial mast if your vehicle is fitted with this equipment. Remember to remove the tape and refit the antenna after washing.

Cleaning the headlightsAs the headlights are made of plastic “glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool to clean them. If this does not clean them properly, moisten the cloth with soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool.Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry cloth.Cleaning products containing alco-hol must not be used.

Vehicles with a matte paint finishThis type of paint requires certain pre-cautions.

Do not do the following– use wax-based products (polishing);– rub hard;– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car

wash;– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-

sure device;– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk

of leaving marks).

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)

Textiles (seats, door trim, etc)Vacuum-clean the textiles regularly.

Liquid stainUse soapy water.Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth, rinse and remove the excess.

Solid or pasty stainCarefully remove the excess solid or pasty material immediately with a spatula (working from the edges to the centre to avoid spreading the stain).Clean as for a liquid stain.

Special instructions for sweets or chewing gumPut an ice cube on the stain to solidify it, then proceed as for a solid stain.

A well-maintained vehicle will last longer. It is therefore recommended to maintain the interior of the vehicle regu-larly.A stain should always be dealt with swiftly.Whatever type of stain is on the trim, use cold (or warm) soapy water with natural soap.Detergents (washing-up liquid, pow-dered products, alcohol-based prod-ucts) should not be used.Use a soft cloth.Rinse and soak up the excess.

senger compartment: use of such equipment could impair the correct functioning of the electrical or elec-tronic components in the vehicle, or have other detrimental effects.

INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)

you should not:You are strongly advised not to po-sition objects such as deodorants, scents, etc. near air vents, as this could damage your dashboard trim.

Removal/replacing removable equipment originally fitted in the vehicleIf you need to remove equipment in order to clean the passenger com-partment (for example, mats), always ensure that they are correctly refitted and are the right way around (the driv-er’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-nents supplied with the equipment (for example, the driver mat should always be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting components).With the vehicle stationary, ensure that nothing will impede driving (anything obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by the mat, etc.).

Puncture, emergency spare wheel

In case of punctureDepending on the vehicle, a tyre infla-tion kit or emergency spare wheel is provided (refer to the following pages).

If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the other wheels:

– Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.– As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, the vehicle’s

ground clearance is reduced.– Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identi-

cal to the original one.– When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the

driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.– Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs.

Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cor-nering.

– If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

Tyre inflation kit

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)

The kit is only approved for inflating the tyres of the ve-hicle originally equipped with the kit.

It must never be used to inflate the tyres of another vehicle, or any other inflatable object (rubber ring, rubber boat, etc.).Avoid spillage on skin when han-dling the repair liquid bottle. If drop-lets do leak out, rinse them off with plenty of water.Keep the repair kit away from chil-dren.Do not dispose of the empty bottle in the countryside. Return it to your approved dealer or to a recycling or-ganisation.The bottle has a limited service life which is indicated on its label. Check the expiry date.Contact an approved dealer to re-place the inflation tube and repair product bottle.

A

B

The kit repairs tyres when tread A has been dam-aged by objects smaller than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre sidewall B.Ensure also that the wheel rim is in good condition.Do not pull out the foreign body causing the puncture if it is still in the tyre.

Do not attempt to use the inflation kit if the tyre has been damaged as a result of driving with a puncture.

You should therefore carefully check the condition of the tyre sidewalls before any operation.Driving with underinflated, flat or punctured tyres can be dangerous and may make the tyre impossible to repair.This repair is temporaryA tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and re-paired, where possible) as soon as possible by a specialist.When taking a tyre which has been repaired using this kit to be replaced, you must inform the specialist.When driving, vibration may be felt due to the presence of the repair product injected into the tyre.


5.7



Depending on the vehicle, in the event of a puncture, use the kit located under-neath the luggage compartment carpet.

With the engine running and the parking brake applied,– unroll the hose from the container;– connect the compressor hose 4 to

the container inlet 6;– depending on the vehicle, connect

the container 6 to the compressor from the container recess 7;

– unscrew the valve cap on the rel-evant wheel and screw on the con-tainer’s inflation adapter 2;

– adapter 3 must be connected to the vehicle accessories socket;

– press switch 5 to inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the information on “Tyre pressure”);

5

6

21

Before using this kit, park the vehicle at a sufficient distance from traffic, switch on the hazard warning

lights, apply the handbrake, ask all passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.

6

If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle’s presence

with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation apply-ing to the country you are in.

– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure (on pressure gauge 6).NB: while the container is empty-ing (approximately 30 seconds), the pressure gauge 3 will briefly indicate a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-sure will then drop.

– adjust the pressure: to increase, con-tinue inflation with the kit; to reduce, press button 1 located on the infla-tion adapter.

If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached after 15 minutes, repair is not possible; do not drive the ve-hicle but contact an approved dealer.

3

4

7

5.8



Once the tyre is correctly inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-flation adapter 2 to prevent any repair product from escaping and store the container in plastic packaging to pre-vent the product from escaping.

– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver;

– Put the kit away.– At the end of this initial inflation op-

eration, air will still escape from the tyre. You must drive a short distance in order to seal the hole.

– Start immediately and drive at be-tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and 60 km/h) in order to distribute the product evenly in the tyre and, after driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and check the pressure.

– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended pressure (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door), read-just it. Otherwise, please contact an authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be repaired.

Precautions when using the kitThe kit should not be operated for more than 15 consecutive minutes.

Nothing should be placed around the driver’s feet as such objects may slide under the pedals during

sudden braking manoeuvres and obstruct their use.

2

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or miss-ing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and may

lead to pressure loss.Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

Following repair with the kit, do not travel further than 120 miles (200 km). In addi-tion, reduce your speed and

under no circumstances exceed 48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which you must affix in a prominent position on the dashboard, reminds you of this.Depending on the country or local legislation, a tyre repaired with the inflation kit may need to be replaced.

ENG_UD26498_1Pneumatiques (X98 - Renault)ENG_NU_955-1_X98_Renault_5

Tyre and wheel safetyThe tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-tial to keep them in good condition.You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations.

When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2: it is then neces-sary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road hold-ing on wet roads.An overloaded vehicle, long journeys by motorway, particularly in very hot weather, or continual driving on poorly surfaced minor roads will lead to more rapid tyre wear and affect safety.

Tyres (tyre and wheel safety, use in winter)

Maintaining the tyresThe tyres must be in good condition and the tread form must have sufficient depth; tyres approved by our Technical Department have wear warning strips 1 which are indicators moulded into the tread at several points.

TYRES (1/3)

When they need to be re-placed, only tyres of the same make, size, type and profile should be used.

Tyres fitted to the vehicle should either be identical to those fitted originally or conform to those recommended by your approved dealer.

Incidents which occur when driving, such as striking the kerb, may damage the tyres and wheel rims, and could

also lead to misalignment of the front or rear axle geometry. In this case, have the condition of these checked by an approved dealer.

Emergency spare wheelRefer to the information on the “Emergency spare wheel” and in-structions on “Changing a wheel” in Section 5.

Changing wheels aroundThis practice is not recommended.

Fitting new tyres

For safety reasons, this op-eration must be carried out by a specialist.Fitting different tyres may

change your vehicle as follows:– it may mean that your vehicle no

longer conforms to current regu-lations;

– it may change the way it handles when cornering;

– it may cause the steering to be heavy;

– it may affect the use of snow chains.

Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey.If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an in-crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).Never deflate a hot tyre.

TYRES (2/3)

Please be aware that a poorly tightened or miss-ing valve cap can make the tyres less airtight and lead

to pressure loss.Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten them fully.

Incorrect tyre pressures lead to abnormal tyre wear and unusually hot running. These are factors which

may seriously affect safety and lead to:– poor road holding,– risk of bursting or tread separa-

tion.The pressure depends on the load and the speed of use. Adjust the pressure according to the condi-tions of use (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door).

Tyre pressuresAdhere to the tyre pressures (including the emergency spare wheel). The tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month and additionally before any long journey (refer to the label af-fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).


5.15


Use in winterChainsFor safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly for-bidden.Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle.

TYRES (3/3)Studded tyresThis type of equipment may only be used for a limited period and as laid down by local legislation. It is neces-sary to observe the speed specified by current legislation.These tyres must, at a minimum, be fitted to the two front wheels.

Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.

In all cases, we would recommend that you contact an approved dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.

18” wheels cannot be fitted with chains.If you wish to fit snow chains, you must use spe-

cial equipment.Consult an approved Dealer.

Snow or Winter tyresWe would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhe-sion.Warning: These tyres sometimes have a specific direction of rotation and a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

Battery

BATTERY: breakdown recovery (1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:– Ensure that any electrical consumers

(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or recon-necting the battery.

– When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery.

– Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short cir-cuit between the terminals.

– Always wait at least one minute after the engine has been switched off before disconnecting a battery.

– Make sure that you reconnect the battery terminals after refitting.

Connecting a battery chargerThe battery charger must be com-patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc-tions given by the manufacturer of the battery charger you are using.

Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap-proved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the battery in a well-venti-lated area. Risk of serious injury.

Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If

it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.The engine may be hot when car-rying out operations in close prox-imity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.Risk of injury.

BATTERY: breakdown recovery (2/2)

Connect the positive cable A to the support on the (+) terminal1, then to the (+) terminal 4 of the battery supplying the current.Connect the negative cable B to the (–) terminal 3 of the battery supplying the current and then to the (–) terminal 2 of the discharged battery.Start the engine, and as soon as it starts running, disconnect cables A and B in reverse order ( 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 ).

Starting the vehicle using the battery from another vehicleIf you have to use the battery from an-other vehicle to start, obtain suitable jump leads (with a large cross section) from an approved dealer or, if you al-ready have jump leads, ensure that they are in perfect condition.The two batteries must have an iden-tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The battery supplying the current should have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which is at least the same as that of the dis-charged battery.Ensure that there is no risk of contact between the two vehicles (risk of short circuiting when the positive terminals are connected) and that the discharged battery is properly connected. Switch off your vehicle ignition.Start the engine of the vehicle supply-ing the current and run it at an interme-diate engine speed. Check that there is no con-

tact between leads A and B and that the positive lead A is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying the current.Risk of injury and/or damage to the vehicle.

the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following is

permitted:– rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).

In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.

Weight transfer (except utility version)Depending on the local legislation, if the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
